Epson really gouging folks on ink costs. I work with a couple print shops that switched over to Canon. Same quality, maybe even better color once calibrated. Epsons push way too much ink through the print head for cleaning and for precise nozzel cleaning you can only select color pairs. Canon you can isolate cleaning to a single nozzel. Epson wasting ink for cleaning, which also fills your maintenance tank faster. Its a scam. If I buy a new photo printer, I think I'd go for canon.
